Yesterday, Mayor Lightfoot let landlords and banks take an unenforceable "Solidarity Pledge" while renters live in fear. We did a little research. Come meet the team of banks and landlords Lightfoot trusts with your housing (and the donations they made to ensure this outcome) 1/9 
The only Alderman Lightfoot could find to stand with her is Harry Osterman, the Real Estate and Housing Chair. He's bought and paid for, so he let the banks and landlords write their own pledge, instead of standing up for working people and legislating.
One of Lightfoot's pledge takers, The Chicagoland Apartment Association, is evicting dozens and paying off politicians.
The Mayor herself has filled her coffers with real estate money, so it's not surprising her "Solidarity" Pledge was written by landlords.
We can't trust landlord advocacy group NBOA to fulfill this pledge -- they're already violating it.
These are the people the mayor trusts to protect homeowners and renters?
These folks got their press conference with the Mayor because they paid for it. And they're still evicting
But look who wasn't invited to have input on this Pledge.
So City Hall is playing the same game: let bankers and landlords write their own rules. What we really need is thousands to form tenant unions in response. What we need is to #CancelRent #Cancel Mortgages and #LiftTheBan on rent control.
